Introduction. In the concluding scene of Paul Peters and George Sklar's play, Stevedore, one of the most powerful plays of the workers' theatre movement of the 1930s, the community of African American dockworkers is fighting off an attack by a vicious White racist mob. Suddenly, the White union organizer and his followers arrive to lend support to the African American community, and Binnie, the community's unofficial leader, who had until then remained in the background, aims a pistol at the mob's ringleader and fires. She shouts exultantly: "I got him! That red-headed son-of-a-bitch, I got him! I got him!" (123). A cry of triumph arises from the crowd, and a few moments later, the final curtain falls
